It’s no secret that publishing great content helps with SEO…but it’s not enough.

Remember: Google and other search engines pay very close attention to ranking factors that take place away from your site, especially the number and quality of your backlinks.

But with updates like Penguin making most link building strategies obsolete (or even dangerous), how can you possibly build links to your site?

The answer: The Skyscraper Technique. It’s a simple, 3-step off page SEO strategy that I’ve successfully used in a dozen different industries.

Here’s how it works. First, you find content in your industry that’s already performed well. You can look at the number of comments, social shares and links. While social shares and comments are important, we’re focused on links. Believe it or not, but some content generates a ton of Tweets and Facebook Likes and few links. You want to zero-in on content that’s acquired white hat links.

Next, it’s time to make the content you found even better. Ideally you want to create something that blows the existing content out of the water. You can improve the design, depth…or just make something more up to date. Just make sure that if you showed your content to 100 people, 95+ would agree that yours is better than the base content from step #1.

The third step of The Skyscraper Technique is link building. This is where you reach out to the people linking to the base content you found in Step #1. Tell them that you also loved the content they’ve already linked to and it’s inspired you to create something even better: Your Skyscraper Content.

That’s all there is to it. If you incorporate this strategy into your off page SEO campaigns you’ll notice a steady uptick of backlinks, social signals and traffic.

SEO has always been about a mix of marketing and technology, and in 2015 that will be even more so. If you want to be prepared for what’s on the horizon, here are our top tips for SEO in 2015.

[titlecard] Mobile: Speed Up or Fall Behind in 2015

If you are not ready for mobile, you MUST be ready in 2015. Over half of internet searchers use mobile devices as their primary or even exclusive way of accessing the internet.

If your site does not display in a user-friendly manner on a mobile device, you’re in trouble. Sites that are not mobile friendly are increasingly at risk for losing traction in Google’s rankings. And your site needs to be fast – Google has said page speed is a factor on mobile and desktop devices.

Your links need to be easy to tap, friction points need to be removed, and click to call is a must. With over 83% of searches on mobile being made with Google, it is long past time to begin playing by Google’s rules.

[titlecard] Panda: Content is King, Long Live the King

You’ve heard it before, content is king. Well, in 2015 this king is likely to become more powerful. Panda updates are Google’s updates to how it evaluates site content quality. There have been 27 of them since early 2011 – that’s almost 7 updates per year. There will be more to come in 2015, so make sure Google sees real value in your site’s content.

[titlecard] Hummingbird Good, Penguin Bad

I don’t know what Penguins ever did to Google, but they named one of their meanest updates after them. Penguin is about stopping manipulation of Google by using tactics like buying bad links and engaging in cheap tricks.

In Google’s eyes, a link is supposed to be an endorsement, an indication of whether a site or piece of content is of good quality. Spammy links mess with Google’s attempts to measure quality and better its results.

If you don’t know whether your links are genuine endorsements of the site or not, 2015 is the time to find out. Position yourself above competitors by having a less risky link profile, or by cleaning up your backlink profile before it’s too late. Much like Panda, we’re sure we’ll be seeing Penguin again in 2015.

How To Do On Page SEO & Create User Friendly Content Optimization

On page SEO in 2014 has two main considerations. While we want to write for users and not search engine robots there are some on page optimization basics that we can integrate and do so in a way that it doesn’t look over optimized… if Using Yoast SEO plugin some of this will be easy to check for your target keyword using the tiles, description and other factors like having your keyword in the content, the url and the article headline, as well as for social syndication meta data.

These post optimization techniques are Specifically For On Page SEO For WordPress.

But most of the techniques discussed can be used on other platforms, although i do recommend below some WordPress SEO Plugins

Things You May Need To help Optimize Your Site (Plus Some WP SEO Plugin Recommendations, Strategy Tips & Techniques):

Yoast SEO Plugin will help you with being able to see your snippets for your Title and description and will also help you score your optimization for your target keyword.
Insights Plugin is one of my favorite plugins for finding relevant internal and outbound links, videos and more.
Your Main Target Keyword
Grouped Keywords – keyword Planner or Article Optimization Commando
Related Keywords – Look Under Google Search or Use LSIkeywords.com
Plan Your Article From Keywords
A Base of Or Skeleton of Article, Length Of Article – Important But Its Dependent On
HTML Sitemap For Users On Your Site – Simple Hierarchecal Sitemap Plugin Is Awesome
Link Patrol, I recommend using link patrol by Search Engine Journal

Compelling Headline
Get your keyword in early in the headline.
When you can use the 1.5 Rule which is simply to get part of your keyword phrase back in again in the headline or use a related or LSI search term in there too.
Yoast SEO Plugin is really useful at this stage even though the title you add to Yoast plugin is for the search engines and your headline is for your blog. The reason is that you can see your title and description coming together nicely for the search engines but also in the social section you can extend the length slightly.
Example Of An Optimized headline Using the 1.5 Rule:

“On Page SEO Techniques in 2014 For Optimizing WordPress”
You can see the main keyword of “On page SEO” is right at the start and I have used part of a related term in “Optimization” within the same headline.
Optimizing Your URL For Search Engines
Personally I like to use the /%category%/%postname%/ permalink but many people prefer just /%postname%/ and get their title in with keywords very early.
Use Yoast SEO Plugin To be Able to see snippets as you type the SEO Title too and you can also consider using “WP Category Permalink Plugin” To Control Your URL when using Sub Categories
Optimizing Images & The Sneaky Outbound Link Trick
Use the image properties to add some additional meta data for even more optimization. You can also use Infographics from others as your outbound link or even better to have your own infographic on an authority infographic directory and use that as your outbound link for a a sneaky SEO trick:)
How To use Sub Headlines With Either H2 or H3 tags For Additional SEO Benefits
If your main headline is problem/ solution focused then the sub headline should back up that promise. This gives us a great opportunity to get our keyword in with H2 tag very early in the post.Bullet Points
